i first saw a smart fortwo in the fall of 2000. it was at themercedes-benz
USA company picnic on the beautiful, sprawling grounds
of
their headquarters in montvale, new jersey. my wife worked
for them
at the time, while i worked for
bmwUSA.
while we were walking the
grounds of the complex, we turned a corner and
there they were!!the first smart cars in the
USA!!
